I am exceptionally happy & had a very good experience purchasing glasses from Thinlenses.uk Normally, I would purchase glasses in the U.S. where I live but there is no place that produces thin glass lenses here. With my high index prescription, astigmatism, & nearsightedness, (-10.5 OD & -12.75 OS) even the highest available 1.74 refraction, the polycarbonate lenses always came out disappointingly thick like magnifying glasses which were an embarrassment to wear. The solution is to get 1.90 glass lenses. There is a place in Canada but it's incredibly expensive... about $1,200 + you have to go fly or drive there. They do not do not sell online. No one in the U.S. does 1.90 glass lenses because apparently they are considered a safety issue here. They might be for an active teenager who plays baseball or football but, I'm an office worker so I don't have to worry about that. Anyway, I had a great customer service experience with Ash Metha who answered all my questions & concerns prior to my placing an order. We had excellent communications via email. I sent him my prescription & he provided me with all the details on how to make the process of buying glasses overseas pleasant & easy. I selected & purchased my own frames from my local optician and sent the frames to the U.K. where Ash took care of the rest. Shipping took a bit longer b/c of the pandemic & he informed me in advance of a possible delay. When they arrived I was so elated that my new glass lenses came out much thinner that I could get here in the U.S. Also, when you get glasses in the U.S., 99% of the time they charge you extra & separately for anti-reflective, UV & scratch resistance coatings. Thinlenses includes these FREE. The price was so reasonable, considering they are bi-focal as well, I'll probably use them to get a second pair. I highly recommend this company if you have a high index prescription. I am a Very Happy & Satisfied Customer. I wish I could post photos of before & after to show you the difference on here.
